Man, do I wish I was there now.<br /><br />Thanks for generating the great memories, Doug. And, as always, thanks for the great comment.

Blueberries should do very well in your area. Believe or not, when I lived in Honolulu, I was able to buy Pitt Meadows blueberries in the Safeway every year! It was like a taste of home.Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05931170635280052744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834596026525717264.post-10823054829760162722011-05-31T12:07:57.263-07:002011-05-31T12:07:57.263-07:00Thanks for the compliments, Doug.

If we could only get some consistent sunshine and warmth around here.... <br /><br />Chris and I hung Boston ferns on our porch last summer, and I loved the way they looked. Reminds me of Southern plantations in the U.S. and lazy days drinking something refreshing on the covered porch. Very gracious. <br /><br />Funny you should ask about vegetables and berries. This spring, we planted three blueberry bushes in the backyard, all different varieties, and we put in two 4&#39; x 8&#39; vegetable boxes as well, terraced on the slope, levelled, and filled with the perfect soil for growing food. <br /><br />Last week, we bought a variety of vegetable bedding plants from the local nursery and planted according to the amount of space they should have between them. What a lot of work, but the result is amazing. We can&#39;t wait to start eating from our very own garden. So cool.<br /><br />Thanks for your ongoing interest in my blog and for your comment.Rick Modienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02157314737543591048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834596026525717264.post-54350050359113841042011-05-31T00:06:09.141-07:002011-05-31T00:06:09.141-07:00What a great visual reward for all your toil in th...What a great visual reward for all your toil in the soil! The plantings set off the house very attractively. I like the Japanese maple and the hanging ferns. What about edible veggies or berries? Then again they might not have time to mature with this cold spring...Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05931170635280052744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834596026525717264.post-78357166670246609112011-05-26T15:19:58.734-07:002011-05-26T15:19:58.734-07:00I look forward to seeing pictures from your garden...I look forward to seeing pictures from your garden, Neal.
